Linux

There are plans to implement a configure style make system, just hasn't been done yet. In the meantime you might need to modify wfsource/GNUMakefile.linux, near the top are several variables which set what directory to look for various libraries, you might need to update these to match your distribution. If you are able to build World Foundry on a distribution not listed here please edit this page and add it to the list (and if you have trouble contact Kevin Seghetti and he will try to help)

Fedora Core 1 this is what Kevin Seghetti is currently using to develop it, so should just work

Red Hat 9.x this is what Kevin Seghetti used to develop on, so probably still just works

Kevin Seghetti : incomplete, deal with yyerror not defined when building eval as tool. A problem is on 48 lines of lang.y, on unstable Debian it doesn't want union which has some name (X in this case). I don't know anything about yy, but when I removed it, it worked some way. Karel Rous?

Windows2000

Prerequisites:

TCL

Read wfsource/README.windows

additional notes

There is a batch file in wfsource called regset.bat, it will set the proper registry entries from your environment variables (reg in wftools needs to be build and installed via 'make copybinaries' in wftools first).

not sure where to put this, i'm trying to piece together build instructions, especially from README.linux
